Without wanting to belabor this point, since it's clearly been decided, I'd like to point out that the DOI can in no way replace the description of CF in the Conventions attribute: 'files that follow these conventions indicate this by setting the NUG defined global attribute Conventions to the string value "CF-1.7"'.
The Conventions attribute is human-readable, very important for those of us who use data at sea or otherwise off-line. This leaves the issue of multiple items containing identical (hopefully) information. To me, it's one more reason to use a single DOI for CF, not for each version. -- You are receiving this because you commented.
